static int
DbEnv::set_tas_spins(u_int32_t tas_spins);
Description
Specify that test-and-set mutexes should spin tas_spins times
without blocking. The value defaults to 1 on uniprocessor systems and
to 50 times the number of processors on multiprocessor systems.
The DbEnv::set_tas_spins interface affects the entire application, not a single
database or database environment.
While the DbEnv::set_tas_spins interface may be used to configure Berkeley DB at any time
during the life of the application, it should normally be called before
making any calls to the db_env_create or db_create methods.
The DbEnv::set_tas_spins method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that
encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.
The database environment's test-and-set spin count may also be set using the environment's
DB_CONFIG file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a
single line with the string "set_tas_spins", one or more whitespace characters,
and the number of spins. Because the DB_CONFIG file is read when the database
environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done
before that time.
